Hello Dan,

I would also be interested in what you have on your TK50's. It was one of the reasons I released all the VMS 4.x stuff in the first place - I saw the end of the (faithless) HP licensing programme and wanted to get the "unlicensed" VMS software out there for others to play with.

By the way, I had a backup tape from 1996 with all my source code and link libraries on it which I sent to a data recovery guy in London. He got nearly everything back, minus a couple of .SQL files for Oracle 6. A good result I reckon!

Best regards,
